Yep, quite a small period, especially for people logging in to find themselves lvl 20 from 120. Prepatch event is funny, having homages to fun quests like boar livers, the Green Hills of Stranglethorn or Hogger.

Whoops, double post. He's very wrong about **** customers knowing and feeling shame for being **** though

Why is it highly likely that they took it from gaming? Seems just how would go as the opportunity is there, so if gaming's "saved", they'll still lock in, or try to lock in people with tractors, or toasters or whatever. So seems independent of a lot else, was just one of his selling points that didn't work with me I'd expect non-AAA gaming wouldn't have the means for these systems, and programming is more and more accessible these days. More of a worst case scenario, heh, well or if "saving" is the right term. I still don't think it's worth saving though

Ah, didn't realize the Russians were banned from Artistic Swimming effectively. They've owned that event for 20 years.

Canada lost in football to Germany, that was good. Some atrocious penalties, still amazed they beat Sweden last time

Not really convinced that if they save gaming from this, other industries won't have similar features - so this really isn't the 'canary in the coal mine'. Always will be non-AAA gaming as well.

She doesn't hit extraordinarily harder from what past women have said. More importantly https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/aug/01/giorgia-villa-cheese-parmesan-photos-gymnast-italy-olympics Big Parma, hah

WoW prepatch event is far too slow and isn't very fun. Sad. The Legion one was the best they've had so far. Ah well. Not much time for other stuff, have been amusing myself with the Arma 2 editor, watching the braindead AI handle tanks like the 40k meme - "Drive me closer.." - taking a T-90 to near point blank range to hit a pickup truck with an APFSDS round

Decent trade, I guess. Russian spies and assassins are free but I suppose that's not a huge deal. Trump denounced it as the worst deal ever, yet ?

Maybe. Hard for me to get past my amusement at gamers' gnashing of teeth though.

Probably should be in funny thread

Is it worth saving, though

The world moved on from that well before the Hamas attacks and the Israeli invasion though.

William Calley. Good riddance. April 28th though, wonder why the delay.

They were getting minerals and other resources from Africa via Wagner, I believe. Also I guess causing the West a headache is also fun. These days though, seems every ill is Russia. My meat thermometer died due to SVR interference.

Hopefully Canadian women get booted, but Colombia will fall. Watch them go on to win, despite being penalized for spying on other teams

I guess they have manpower and resources to spare, too.

Enemies have ADD and extreme accuracy so they're attracted to the shiny thing.

Farthest Frontier got an update, so been playing that off and on. Performance did improve a bit

The most annoying part of the opening ceremony were the commercial breaks.
